The trip over all was excellent. First we commend our local guide Mr. Latte in Luang Prabang and Ms. Mone in Vientiane. they are very knowledeable, kind and so accommodating. Mr. Latte and Ms. Mone went all out to make our trip enjoyable and safe. We had a problem with our train ticket for Luang Prabang. Ms. Mone ensured that the problem was fixed. Mr. Latte was always in good spirit and patient and smiling! We liked the itinerary and especially we commend the elephant camp. It was highly educational and fun. We were so happy to knw that the elephants were very healthy and taken cared of!

Definitely a recommendable peaceful and one of a kind place ! It was a joy everyday we were there. Deeply felt in our hearts the welcoming Bacci ceremony, the Alms giving to the monks, the elephant encounter , the sunset cruising ! Topped up with the privilege to sleep over the elephant camp to celebrate birthdays of 2 family members. Unforgettable, located on the relaxing woods beside Mekong River! Very happy in their local healthy food . Nice & preserved culture & place of the people. We really appreciate Manifa Travel service, they gave their utmost capability to made us smiley everyday from pick up to drop off to the airport ! Will definitely tell friends about our experience & will likely go back :)

We had a wonderful 10 night trip in Laos with Manifa Travel. We booked our hotels ourselves and gave Manifa the dates and they then created our itinerary. Everything went seamlessly. The lovely Mong showed us around Vientiane and put us on the fast train to Vang Vieng. We were then met by the brilliant, and fun Toh who took us kayaking and cycling around the beautiful countryside, adapting the itinerary to suit our needs. Then North to tranquil Nong Khiaw guided by the charismatic and knowledgeable Latte. Our final destination was Luang Prabang where delightful and engaging Khane looked after us brilliantly. Our trip surpassed our expectations. Laos is an amazing country, as yet unspoilt by tourism, with stunning scenery and friendly people. Thank you Manifa travel.

Big Kudos to Ai Chit who made sure everything was right for us! The camp is clean, beds are comfortable and food is typical lao style on evening. Breaky is great too. We chose to ride elephant twice with the kids. Elephant are well cared for and look healthy. A great experience for the family!
